Nagmo ki Ek Shaam... Sonu Nigam ke Naam

Pracheen kaal ki baat hai, jab duniya ke tamaam gayak aur sangeetkaar ekatr huye the, Gurudev Sonu Nigam ko janam din ki badhai dene. Prastut hai uss sabha ki ek jhalak:

Ashaji dwar pe khadi saare mehmaano ka swagat kar rahi hein.

Ashaji - Aaiye meherbaan, baithiye jaane jaan...

All the guests have arrived, except one.

Sonu - Ab mujhe raat din, Anu ka khayal hai
            Kya kahoon party mein,
            Anu Malik ka intezaar hai.

Anu Malik arrives, panting.

Anu Malik - Oonchi hai building,
                      Arre lift teri bandh hai,
                      Bhaagta hua aaya, 
                      Seediyan do sau chappan hein.

The waiters start bringing in the food.

Sonu - Samose aate hein, 
            Rasgulle chaasni tapkaate hein,
            Choley ki khusboo se,
            Muh mein pani aata hai.
            Cake kab laaoge
            Cake kab laaoge
            Batao kab laaoge? 
            Ki cake bin table soona soona hai.

Lataji - Aayega aayega aayega
              Aayega sundar sa cake
              Aayega aayega aayega.
             
The much awaited cake finally arrives.

Shreya - Agar cake mil jaye,
               Brownies chod dungi mai.
               Cake pa kar zamaane bhar ki 

               Mithaiyaan chod dungi mai.

But before the cake can be cut, John Denver announces he has to leave.

Anwar Hussain - Humse ka bhool hui, jo yey sazaa humka mili?

John Denver - I'm leaving by Jet Airways
                         Dunno if they'll let me sing on the way
                         Oh Sonu, I hate to go.

Alka Yagnik - Pardesi pardesi jaana nahin...

Uditji decides to leave as well.

Udit Narayan - Mai bhi nikla, gaddi leke...

A. R. Rehman - Saddi gaddi aithey rakh.

Uditji ghabra kar wapis baith jaate hein.

Sonu - Just chill chill, just chill.

He cuts the cake. Everyone claps.

Mohammed Rafi -  Baar baar din yeh aaye,
                                 Baar baar dil yeh gaaye,
                                 Tu jeeye hazaron saal
                                 Yeh meri hai arzoo
                                 Happy Birthday to you
                                 Happy Birthday to you
                                 Happy Birthday to Sonu
                                 Happy Birthday to you.

Sonu thanks him and touches his feet.

Usha Khannaji gives Sonu some advice.

Usha Khanna - Tum akele toh kabhi bagh mein jaya na karo,
                           Tum akele toh kabhi bagh mein jaya na karo,
                           Aaj kal fans badi shokh hua karti hein,
                           Koi shokhi pe utar aaye, toh phir...
                           Toh phir kya hoga?

Usha Uthap starts singing and gets everybody on their feet and dancing.

Usha Uthap - ...Mr. Nigam, gir matt jaana,
                         Yahaan tumhe kal bhi hai aana.
                         Aai Sonu, gir matt jaana, 
                         Yahaan tumhe kal bhi hai aana.
                         One two cha cha cha...

Lights have now been dimmed. Sonu looks at Madhurima.

Sonu - Tere bin mai dekhun na subah,
            Nigahon se abhi yeh vada kar liya.

            Tere bin, ho chalna bhi sazaa,
            Ki raahon se abhi, yey vada kar liya.

He leads Madhurima onto the dance floor.

Elvis - Love me tender, 
            Love me sweet, 
            Never let me go,   
            You have made my life complete, 
            And I love you so.   

As the couple dance, lost in their own world, the guests quietly leave the room.

Kishore Kumar - Chalte chalte,
                              Mere yeh geet yaad rakhna
                              Kabhi alvida na kehna
                              Kabhi alvida na kehna...      

Happy Birthday Sonu. Hope you enjoyed this virtual party. Wishing you a birthday as amazing as you yourself are. Much happiness, love and laughter... today and always.

Bye guys. Time for me to fly as well. Apne armaano ko, pankh laga ke, mai udd chali.

Keep smiling friends. Keep ROFLing. Life is Beautiful 😄
